This is one of the few Sonja maps, and you can see a little bit on how her super has some invisible power concealed in it. To avoid this, I recommend relying on indirect fire, and there are few choices better for this than Grit. I will be abusing him quite a bit for the near future as when we get back to the maps against multiple COs, it is hard to maintain his defensive line, and a lot of other choices are better and faster. Like the previous encounter with her father, you can cheese her somewhat by getting a rocket onto your beach and denying her some of the properties on the other side of the island. Rockets other than Grit's will not reach, and her battleships will outrange you, so this is Grit exclusive. A few other indirects around those like missiles for airplanes and artillery for navy can offer a lot of help too. You will need to wrap around the island and break her stronghold before leaving that island for the other. Basically, once you have your island secured, you should have the economy to send over some battleships and cruisers and put her down for good. Now, the thing about Sonja's super that they do not tell you in this game is that her 1.5x multipler means that she is shooting first. The visuals do not demonstrate this (in this game), but she will maintain initiative and can cripple your units before you get your attack off. This means that if you attack her bombers with antiair, she can kill the antiair before it does anything meaningful. The way around this is indirects as there is no first shot to take. Shoot her out of the sky with missiles and her super is meaningless, or hit her subs and cruisers with artillery and that is a wrap. There are a few COs who excel at doing this other than Grit (Eagle), so just be careful if you are fighting her with someone like Max. It will be a little dangerous for even Sensei, Colin, or Hachi to attack her as well since they are neutral at best, and disadvantaged at worst. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRZvU2r2l9U

Prior to the first update, I barely did rampage quests as all due to how much I hate them. When we were finally able to fight Apex monsters outside of them, I was all too delighted to hop in. With the time skip between the previous video and this one, you can see that my Pierce gun set is now assembled, and personally, I think it is a little better than my Sticky gun for this particular monster. Arzuros has a few new moves, the most annoying of which being his low hop. It took me a little while to get used to it, and I consider it to be his nastiest move. Sadly, I don't really need his stuff as he only has his Apex drop for rampage weapons (which I don't use), so trying to farm him for crowns is a real chore. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eImO_6pc9I
